Government officials and representatives from the private sector and research institutes from Southeast Asia identify gaps in the region’s aquatic emergency preparedness and response systems

The Aquatic News Index is an initiative of the SEAFDEC/AQD Library to improve the accessibility of current and historical news articles on aquatic science and to preserve them in digital form.

Over a hundred fish farmers and other stakeholders availed of free lectures and consultations on 11 July 2018 at SEAFDEC/AQD’S Multi-Purpose Hall in Tigbauan, Iloilo.

The paper titled “A probiotic Bacillus strain containing amorphous poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) stimulates the innate immune response of Penaeus monodon postlarvae” was awarded the top prize in the aquatic science category of the Dr. Elvira O. Tan Awards for 2018.

To discuss challenges on eel farming and report on the findings of eel studies, the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center / Aquaculture Department (SEAFDEC/AQD) took part in the “International Technical Workshop on Tropical Anguillid Eels in Southeast Asia.”

Three decades’ worth of research on fish feed ingredients in Southeast Asia will be hosted in a soon-to-be-launched online database that aims to reduce the aquaculture industry’s reliance on fish-derived meals and oils, as well as significantly lower the cost of feeds.

SEAFDEC/AQD organized the international training, with funding support from the Government of Japan Trust Fund (GOJ-TF), to enable Southeast Asian countries to initiate resource enhancement activities or improve their current programs.

A 15-day training course on “Sandfish Seed Production, Nursery, and Management” held from April 5 to April 20, 2018, in Tigbauan, Iloilo.
